STORY BEHINDBEST RESTAURANT BAR & CAFE AWARD

Background

NOW! Bali’s Best Restaurant, Bar & Café Awards is acknowledged as one of the most organized and credible competitions on the island. The “judging” is not done by a panel of “experts” but is left to the discretion of our readers and community, who vote anonymously avoiding any biased decisions and keeping the results objective and transparent. Participating venues register themselves and are not chosen by NOW! Bali specifically. This is a consumer driven, open competition.

In addition to our Readers/Public Choices Awards, we also have: our Editor’s Choice Awards, where our esteemed editor chooses specific traits in establishments that are worthy of recognition; and also the Industry Choice Awards, a closed voting system that asks the top FnB professionals for their Top 3 chosen venues on the island, chosen for quality, service and

Entering its 4th consecutive year, we have yet again upgraded the platform for the NOW! Bali’s Best Restaurant, Bar & Café Awards to improve the experience of both the participating venues and also the voters. Now the whole journey of signing up, logging in and voting has improved and flows seemlessly.

OBJECTIVES

When we started 4 years ago, we saw a huge need for Bali’s incredibly eclectic and booming food and beverage scene to have a credible and fair awards competition. Today, critics, blogs, other competitions and campaigns are known to be biased, or closed to a certain select choice; we wanted to open this market up and give all of Bali’s venues a chance to be noticed, recognised and rewarded. So, our objective through this campaign is to bring light to the amazing food scene in Bali and create a trusted awards that consumers and the industry can agree with.

NOW! Bali has been a leading visitors magazine on the famous 'Island of the Gods' for over seven years now. Providing insightful, well researched, and unique stories on travel, culture, dining, experiences, leisure, art and community events, our offerings have expanded beyond our monthly print edition, to substantial digital campaigns backed by an interesting and continually updated website, bi-weekly e-newsletters that reach out to over 35,000 database and active social media accounts, NOW! Bali offers a number of exciting and evolving multimedia platforms.

NOW! Bali's Best Restaurant, Bar and Cafe Awards (BRBCA) are the most respected and transparent in the industry because the winners are voted for by our very own readers. In addition to our Main Awards and our Editors' Choice Awards, this year, we have decided to add “Industry Favourites” Awards. This new set of awards, voted for by industry professionals, will reveal those establishments which are ranked top among the chefs, hoteliers, baristas, F & B managers, and other culinary professionals.
